\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\nThe excitement was palpable as we entered the park and caught our first glimpse of Kanha \u2013 its glistening green meadows resplendent under the rays of the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n
All of us instantly felt a renewed sense of calm, our minds refreshed and rejuvenated as we observed the pristine beauty that lay before us\u00a0with lots of Spotted Deer and Swamp Deer to give us company.<\/p>\n\n\n
What could be better than this glorious moment!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n As we moved forward, we crossed several lush meadows and gurgling streams. In the vicinity, we saw a patrolling camp where two safari vehicles were parked. A couple of tourists were taking pictures of some animals.<\/p>\n\n\n We made sure to proceed quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n Lo and behold, there was a pack of 11 red wild dogs moving along the backdrop of the gorgeous green landscapes through the forest, not far from the road.<\/p>\n\n\n Our guide quickly pointed out one wild dog that had a collar. We immediately realized that this was the wild dog that had been collared by the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department in collaboration with the Wildlife Institute of India.<\/p>\n\n\n A great feat indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n Watching these wild dogs moving into the forest thickets and then walking out in the open, jumping and rolling in the grass was a sight for sore eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n DID YOU KNOW?<\/strong> Wild dogs are one of the least studied carnivores in the Central Indian landscape, and it is usually quite difficult to monitor their movements in the jungle. They cover a large territory and also venture into the peripheries of villages, often forming their den around them.<\/p>\n\n\n Over the years, these wild dogs have been susceptible to diseases like mange and canine distemper which can eventually wipe out the whole pack.<\/p>\n\n\n At Kanha, we make every effort to closely monitor these wild dogs so that we can collect proper data about their movements around the jungle as well as in the nearby villages.<\/p>\n\n\n Our aim is to assist the forest department in their conservation efforts to help safeguard these beautiful predators and their future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n We are positive that this radio-collared dog and her pack will be instrumental in understanding the wild dogs\u2019 local movements and their home range.<\/p>\n\n\n David Raju The Kanha Tiger Reserve reopened on 1st October after a three-month-long break.
